how about this as a start: #!/bin/sh for i in /bin /sbin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/X11R6/bin [...etc...] ; do for j in $i/* ; do strings -a $j | grep -q "/usr/spool" && echo $j uses /usr/spool done done btw, i agree with removing the /usr/spool symlink. programs that use /usr/spool have to be found and fixed. craig -- craig sanders -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
